by contrast, pop-ism is an ideology because it applies to everyone
everyone has to resist its claims -- i.e., pop-ism doesn't claim or seize you in the way that music does, but rather makes claims about how to understand the world -- i.e., pop-ism as a claim about how to understand and relate to music
and this is ideology as produced by the capitalist system -- and it works top to down
but to say that our choices as to which music scenes to join, which records we like, etc, are ideologically determined is to make a complete and utter mish-mash of the concept of ideology
again, though we've used the analogy of feudalism to explain interpellation into a music scene -- and the analogy is helpful, e.g., in feudalism the property owner is not really an owner but has "seisin," i.e, this is same etimological word as "seize" -- we shouldn't lose sight of fact that scenes are in the end about reciprocal recognition, i.e., more democratic than hierarchic
interpellation is *perhaps* a helpful concept as applied to music scenes
ideology is a mystifying concept
